Only in fluff jobs where people don't have any technical knowledge and make judgments based on how attractive a salesman is. I've been on hundreds of conference calls and driven to a different office maybe 5 times in my life. I guess that's the difference between being an engineer (and having people evaluate your technical knowledge) and being a salesman (and having people evaluate you on your looks and fashion). I've had dozens of teleconferences with people in Houston about oil refineries we were working on and I'd assume given the nature of Texas as an oil industry state they would be more focused on technical performance. This isn't DC-NYC where your big jobs are government lobbying and finance.
